----- NOTES -----
Here's yet another season of the fantastic Star Trek TNG for Blu-Ray
remasters, reencoded to a more suitable file size by kris33!

Like with the other previous seasons, I've reencoded the GECKOS release
with x264 using the "very slow" preset, which resulted in
a 700%+ smaller file size (Source ≈ 2300MB, This ≈ 300MB), yet
with 85-90% of the quality still remaining. Some grain in the
source is not visible anymore, but that's about it.

Check out the Sample before you dismiss this upload blindly
due to being scared of the small file size. 

The audio has been converted from 5.1 DTS 1500 KBps to 
2.0 Dolby Pro Logic II AAC 192 KBps. The difference is
inaudible on non-surround speakers.

Enjoy and please keep seeding it! I also appreciate comments and 
upvotes on TPB and KickassTorrents :)

File list not available.

Thanks, best season ever ! Hope people will seed...
thanks awesome hoping you would do this
Just wanted to say thank you
oh wow, you are awesome, thank you sooooo much!!!
First of Thank you for the amazing upload.

But I wish you would have allowed more for size for picture quality

you should have bumped each season up to about 12 GB that wouldn't have been too large and it would would have cleared a lot of the pixelation and artifacts.

A-8 V-8.5 S-9

The reason I give video an 8.5 is because of all the artifacts on dark scenes.
Thanks!

Q'Pla!
Your place in Sto'vo'kor is assured my brother.
Q'Pla !
Thanks for the upload, but some of the episodes have HUGE SUBTITLES overlay the video.

Can we get a repack?

Example: "Silicon Avatar"
you're the man kris
This torrent is of terrible quality. It is NOT 720p and has no place under HD - TV shows.

There has yet to be a season 5 ST:TNG 720p upload.
@gusbeavis
This is in HD. The video height is 720px, since the series is old (probably older than you) it's not in widescreen but in 4:3, so the width is 960px. Think twice before you post misleading shit.

@RIAAinformant
Subtitles are not hardcoded, turn them off in your video player.

This is an excellent torrent. If you compare the original Bluray and this re-encode you'll see that 90% of image quality is preserved... and all that in just 8 GB! Original episodes have varying quality due to restoration so if you want to bitch to someone go to Paramount Pictures, but Kris33's re-encode is 10/10.

Excellent work Kris33!
@lukanoir

I'm sorry, but I respectfully but forcefully disagree. This is NOT HD quality. I have picked up seasons 1-4 without any reencoding. The file sizes are certainly larger. But these are dull. They are fine for regular non-HD uploads, and I don't with to be ungrateful. But they are not HD. They have no place under HD. And I wish, as someone who has the storage space and only gets HD for these shows, someone would upload a truly HD, non-compressed version.
Actually, I should be more specific. Brightly lit scenes actually look pretty close to their uncompressed 720p. But darker scenes look terrible. And if I have the space, I want it all to look good!
Well being 720 vertical, it IS 720p HD. It's in the correct section. It's just compressed to hell, but is HD.

Compression doesn't determine if something is HD or not. It's the pixel width and height, but mainly the height.

What you could call this is SHITTY HD. It is 720p, but just shit quality. So you can still call it HD.

If you have a movie at 1280x720p. At what point of compression would you stop calling it HD? 0% compressed? 1% compressed? 50% compressed? 80% compressed? These are all still 720p HD qualities.

So I guess all DirecTV and your local 1080i broadcasts can not be called HD because they are all compressed.

I prefer the 3.27GB 1080p episodes myself, like Season 4. 81.8GB for Season 4. Eh, no big deal to me. It's just one step closer to the original disc.
@lukanoir

Wow, to be totally honest, just seeing these small file sizes WOULD indeed make me immediately dismiss them, BUT, I did check out your screenshots, and I HAVE to admit that whatever you are showing in those shots looks frigg'n AMAZING for the file size, truly!

I personally (like you say some want full BR, some need/appreciate small size) prefer the full deal because of my system, but I absolutely HAD to reply on here and say that I was quite surprisingly blown away by the PQ of your comparison shots!

Nice job mate!

Cheers!
Oh, and BTW, this IS the ONLY 'HD' post for S05 at this point. There ARE no other posts in HD, period here that I can find...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! And thank you for including subtitles !
Its imortant for me .
Will wait season 6 . Keep going kris33
@lukanoir
Like TheLathe said, there are no other S05 rips here yet. But none the less, I at least want some type of quality in my downloads. I have 2 1080p 'rover' rips, a 'TENEIGHTY', and a 'dukes'. All are about 8700 Kbps in 3.27GB files. I don't know if those are untouched rips or not, but I can live with 8700 Kbps compared to 900 Kbps. File size for me is not an issue, as long I don't have every show as untouched pure BR rips, that would just be mad space.. And pretty difficult to download.

There is a 1080p Season 5 'rovers' rip out there right now. Released a month ago. But it's on a forum and dispersed over tons of free/paid download hosts. Downloading at free speed would take months if they'd still be there by the time you get to the last episodes.

Like the other 1080p rips, hopefully they'll make their way to TPB once someone can gather up all the pieces scattered around.
I have some other versions of this season, and I will tell everyone here a couple of things. First, do not hesitate to D/L this. It is the best quality that I have seen so far. This D/L sports better color, and noticeably better resolution.
...
As for the actual quality compared to one of the rather complicated standards out there, this is not truly HD. It is mighty close though, remember these are .MKV's - and again, the best one can get at this time.
...
As has been previously mentioned, at this time (Christmas 2013) there are no better torrents for this season of TNG - And I will simply say THANK YOU to the uploader.
...
Merry Christmas (If that's your thing).
Also remember just because it's an MKV doesn't make it "the best one can get".

An MKV is like a ZIP file, it can contain anything. These just happen to be an x264 encoded video. I can take a .VOB DVD rip and put it into an .MKV file. i.e., put all 4+ .VOB files into one .MKV file. When it plays it will still be MPEG-2 DVD quality video.
I don't feel too bad about downloading these since I spent over $700 on the damn DVDs when they first came out (only for them to be sold waaaay cheaper a couple years later), but even though I spent just as much on the DS9 DVDs, I will so buy it all over again if they do it in HD... DS9 would just be mind-blowing in HD.
I'm gonna have to agree on the encoding of this... it's kinda... not good. I watched episode 4x26 right before going into 5x01, and the difference in quality was immediately apparent. I think I'm going to go with a better rip, though for how small the files are on this it's not terrible or anything... just not very good.
Kriss33 will you be doing season 6 and 7 please?
Season 6 and 7 have not been remastered yet;
They will come out some time this year:

@gusbeavis I would suggest to you that you may have a corrupt graficscard driver or an older card and thats why you get more artifacts then the rest of us. Try that..
Hi kris33

Please upload the Season 7

Thx
